Shoe called out John, somehow Zac Johnson and Tyler then got involved. So funny seeing these four guys in the cashinator.

What’s funny is that Tyler was hardly moving in there, yet, he’s the one that ended up collecting the most money.

Jeremy called out John, then they brought everyone else in.

11 Zac Johnson September 25, 2008 at 1:03 pm

This was sooo ridiculous… I can’t believe we all fit in that thing!

I’m just surprised it didn’t tip over

Reply

14 Daniel Kemp October 2, 2008 at 2:15 pm

That would have been cool. Then the money would go flying and more people would be trying to grab the money.

You could challenge them all to a MMA tournament. :)

Good thing you are half the size you once were, nobody else would have fit! Then again, if that were the case you would have won! Well a win for you (being smaller) is a loss for us! LOL

wow 4 guys in that little area.. kinda creepy :)

32 CCNA Training Videos September 25, 2008 at 3:35 pm

Interesting event Shoe.. The 1st and 2nd place winner should face off in the octagon.. :)

In fact, turn that into a little reality show, two teams of bloggers coached by MMA stars for 6 weeks, just like the ultimate fighter… Very interesting behind the scenes opportunities there.. I’d tune in to see who’s got a pair and who doesn’t. :)

33 Melvin September 25, 2008 at 3:42 pm

damn, i even thought tyler was the weakest one on that list… ;-)

Reply

34 mrkbsm September 25, 2008 at 10:20 pm

He had the advantage of seeing and perfecting Shoe’s strategy though – the suit coat trumped the t-shirt.

35 Reid September 25, 2008 at 4:13 pm

oh well… we won’t look at you any differently…

Not too bad. $60 is impressive no-the-less.

It’s all good. You and John should have still gone head to head afterwards though.

very close competetion between you and john chow.

the multiple contestant took the john vs shoemoney fun out of it

44 andrew September 26, 2008 at 4:03 am

agree. Even so, it was pretty funny. Congrat’s Tyler for the win.

Reply

45 Internet Cowboy September 25, 2008 at 8:06 pm

It should have been Shoe vs Chow only. Would be more fun. =)

Reply

46 Bryn Youngblut September 25, 2008 at 8:28 pm

Yeah exactly…the original bet.

Reply

47 Melvin September 26, 2008 at 1:20 am

Yeah, but zac and tyler add spice to it because they are great marketers too…

Reply

48 Melvin September 26, 2008 at 4:03 am

hahhaha… and the cashinator has nothing to do w/intrnt marketing

Reply

bah the original contest was boring why not spice it up..

Reply

50 Internet Cowboy September 26, 2008 at 6:57 pm

We even didnt see the original contest, so not sure what exactly was “spiced up” =) And BTW, it felt claustrophobic, too.

Reply

51 TYCP Entertainment Magazine September 28, 2008 at 11:24 am

Yeah, I’m not going to lie. Nothing against the others, but I would have rather have just seen Shoe & John. They should do another one!

Reply

52 Moneybites September 28, 2008 at 1:24 pm

Nah the others, added in more fun, and I’m glad my buddy Tyler won

Reply

53 David September 25, 2008 at 8:27 pm

I love that even though they both had microphones on, they were still using yet another microphone. Now that I have that figured out, I need to figure out a way to get Cashinated myself.

54 River Girl September 25, 2008 at 9:52 pm

Yup – have to agree – still need just a John Chow Shoemoney contest.

Reply

57 mrkbsm September 25, 2008 at 10:14 pm

Alright, so that was just hilarious! I’m with everyone else on this, surprised that you all fit – who ultimately decided that 4 people would fit in the booth?

Reply

58 KushMoney September 25, 2008 at 11:43 pm

That was fun to watch. First I seen it in tylercruz view and now in your view. I am happy the little guy won. Sorry shoemoney.

That was my favorite booth. Did $42 in there on Saturday as they just loaded up with two dollar bills and I have a big sticky forehead.

LOL The cashinator and ML are awesome! Better luck next time Shoe!

Reply

65 Dan Patterson September 26, 2008 at 1:05 pm

The cashinator was awesome, but you guys got way more out of it than I did. I think I came out with like $20 or something like that. I should have used my shirt!

It’s all about using what you have, next time just dress in a giant net ;)

67 Goran Website October 1, 2008 at 4:29 am

I think the secret is to collect the notes from the direction they’re being blowed up from, just like how Tyler did it. That’s why he won, he had the smartest strategy.

Reply

68 Daniel Kemp October 2, 2008 at 2:17 pm

It also depends on the amount on the bills you get. So there is a bunch of luck involved.

74 Goran Website October 1, 2008 at 4:20 am

I heard that John initially rejected your challenge Shoe, by sayin “it will be too easy”. So what made him change his mind? Plus I like how you guys added a last minute spice by adding Zac Johnson and Tyler Cruz to the challenge. It was a great challenge that ended up in a high amount for the winner to take ;-)

Dude, I have this wicked sweat pants with elastic waist and at the bottom of the leg parts. I would just wear no shirt and stuff as much money into my pants.
